Smiles

It takes less muscles to smile than frown,
that's what we were told as children,
but smiling can prove to be difficult,
when you're going through hell.

Smiles are often a sign of happiness,
but there is no true sign of sadness,
for tears can be tears of joy,
and frowns can be placed out of anger.

Smiles can be faked,
and you can trick your brain into thinking it's real,
but even your brain can tell when you're lying,
you've lied your whole life, haven't you?
